The data deluge is here, and every agency - military, government and civilian - struggle with the exponentially increasing number of terabytes generated almost daily. In the current regulatory climate, you need to backup or archive just about everything - but how much of what you back up is duplicated data, and how can you reduce the backup window while keeping auditors and policymakers off your back? Disk-based backup with data de-duplication offers to deliver on just that promise. Yes, tape is cheap initially but long term costs in lost data and production hours could be staggering, despite its low upfront cost, magnetic tape as a medium for backing up data is cumbersome and time-consuming. And as the terabytes become petabytes, the time needed to back it all up with tape may just not be there anymore.

Join us for this important eSeminar sponsored by ExaGrid, to learn how disk-based backup and byte-level data de-duplication technology combine to dramatically lower the cost of backing up to disk while eliminating the hassles of tape and speeding backup AND restore dramatically.

Attendees will hear:
- What's driving the need for disk-based backup solutions
- How data-deduplication slashes the backup window
- Why regulations and legislation impact your datacenter's backup strategy
- Best practices for deploying disk-based backup with de-duplication
- What to look for - and what to avoid
Choosing the right disk-based backup solution with data de-duplication can be daunting. This webcast will discuss the seven vital questions to ask when considering a move to disk-based backup, and will carefully examine the pros and cons of popular approaches. Understanding the different approaches can make the difference between success and failure, so register now.
